Nuremberg's schilling issues of the late 1420s fall within a period of acute fiscal strain on the city, which had spent heavily on fortifications and mercenary contracts during the Hussite wars. The Czech campaigns disrupted trade routes through Franconia sufficiently that the city council authorized new small silver to keep local markets liquid. Kelln 104 is a scarce type with a narrow production window of roughly two years.
